How the blog makes money

Some of the links used on the site are what's known as "affiliate links". By buying through those links I may receive a commission for the sale. This is the same model used by sites like Money Saving Expert and Voucher Cloud. This has no effect on the price for you.

The blog's independence is really important to me so I only include the best offers and deals, whether there is an affiliate link available or not. I also refuse all sponsored posts. Everything I write is because I believe it's something you should know about, not because I've been paid to write it.

But any money I do make helps me carry on producing the articles and podcasts for you to enjoy!
